I just want to be lazy, I was forced to become Hokage

Dark sky, continuous drizzle.

A group of ninjas wearing raincoats were moving quickly across the muddy ground, making no noise during their movements.

This group of ninjas all wear gas masks on their faces, and the forehead protectors on their foreheads show their true identity - Amegakure!

In the Akatsuki organization base.

After receiving the news from Jiraiya, Yahiko and the others immediately put down their guests and ran as fast as possible to the commanding heights of the base.

Nara Langui and Jiraiya found two sets of rainproof cloaks nearby and followed the three giants of the first generation of the Akatsuki organization.

boom! boom!

At the same time, the other ninjas in the Akatsuki organization also sensed the arrival of the uninvited guests and quickly sent out a notification signal. The harsh signal tone echoed throughout the Akatsuki organization base.

It doesn't take a moment.

One after another, ninjas wearing black robes walked out of the base and gathered together.

These ninjas also wear forehead protectors, the symbol of the Hidden Rain Village, on their foreheads - four vertical raindrops engraved on a bright iron plate.

(The current Akatsuki organization does not have a line indicating the identity of a rebel ninja on the forehead, and there is no bloody red cloud on the robe)

At first glance.

The number of ninjas staying in the Akatsuki organization's base is now actually more than the number of ninjas that attacked!

Just like Nara Langui said before.

After several years of development and growth, Xiao organization’s current scale is indeed good.

Nara Langui's [Kagura Heart Eye] has long shrouded the members of the Akatsuki organization, and roughly grasped their strength level.

If Konoha ninjas are used as a reference, the average level of Akatsuki members should be "genin".

On the contrary, the aggressive Amegakure force on the opposite side had their members at a minimum level of senior chuunin. It was obvious that this was an elite Amegakure force.

In this elite unit, the leader has a very large amount of chakra.

In Nara Langui's perception, the opponent's chakra amount is almost no lower than his!

Shadow-level chakra!

In this way, the identity of the leader of the ninja group opposite became clear.

The contemporary big boss of Yuyin Village - Sanshouyu Hanzo!

‘How could it be such a coincidence? ’

Nara Langui frowned slightly as he looked at the group of Amegakure troops that were approaching.

"Not long after Jiraiya and I arrived, Amegakure's Sanshouyu Hanzo came over with his ninja troops...

“I came to the Kingdom of Rain using the [Shadow Stream Blade], so it’s impossible for my whereabouts to be exposed.

"So has Jiraiya's trace been leaked? Or...is there someone else who is doing it secretly?"

The target of Nara Langui's suspicion is none other than Hei Zetsu, who has never shown his face!

He was certain that Black would never give up on Nagato, the host of the Samsara Eye.

But this filial son did not appear in Nara Langui's perception.

If Black Zetsu had observed the arrival of Nara Langui and Jiraiya in advance, and then ran to Amegakure Village to inform the news...

This is not impossible.

And with Hei Jue's sophistication.

Coupled with the accumulated conflicts between the stagnant Amegakure Village and the growing Akatsuki organization...

It is not completely impossible that Sanshouyu Hanzo will personally lead the troops.

Nara Langui briefly recalled the story on the normal timeline.

Calculating the time, it was probably in the past two years that Shimura Danzo and Sansho Hanzo killed Yahiko...

(The specific time of Yahiko's death is unknown, but it is inferred to be at the end of the Third War, that is, Konoha 50 and 51)

'Shimura Danzo's joint operation with Sansho Hanzo is probably to expand Konoha's war advantage in the Land of Rain...'

Nara Langui's thoughts suddenly became divergent.

‘But Sansho Hanzo also chose to join forces with Shimura Danzo, what does this mean? Has the level of that Sanshou Fish fallen to this level? ’

‘But if I remember correctly, Sanshouyu Hanzo did not die in Nagato’s outburst. ’

'After Yahiko died, Nagato worked hard to create six clones, and then killed Sansho Hanzo. This span of time must have been quite long...'

‘It’s so fascinating! ’

When Nara Langui fell into thinking.

Jiraiya, who also had a strong sense of perception, also discovered the familiar chakra that was particularly outstanding among the troops on the opposite side.

"It's Sansho Fish Hanzo!"

Jiraiya, who had fought against Hanzo the Sanshouyu, immediately spoke to remind his three disciples.

"Everyone, be careful!"

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Although looking at the entire ninja world, Sanshouyu Hanzo will definitely find many opponents.

But if we only consider the Land of Rain, Hanzo the Sanshoyu's reputation is simply thunderous, enough to make people change their expressions upon hearing it.

The moment he knew that the leader of the group of ninjas who suddenly attacked was Sansho Hanzo.

Yahiko, Nagato and Konan suddenly felt a heavy pressure in their hearts.

The first three giants of the Akatsuki organization were all like this.

Not to mention the other ordinary members whose average level is only at the genin level.

"I can help."

Nara Langui's voice passed through the rain curtain and reached the ears of Yahiko and the others clearly.

"The ninja troop opposite is probably the most elite force in Yuyin Village.

“As long as this force is dealt with, the village of Hidden Rain and even the entire Kingdom of Rain will be in the hands of your Akatsuki organization.

"This is a rare opportunity."

Although Nara Langui's words are somewhat suspicious of taking advantage of the situation.

But he originally came to the Land of Rain for Nagato's Samsara Eye.

In fact, with the ninja's behavior, Nara Langui could just gouge out his eyes and leave.

After all, even at the level of Six Paths, gouging out people's eyes is a common operation (fog).

But Nara Langui is still willing to pay a certain price for this.

How did you say that?

Mr. Nara is kind-hearted and would not take things from others for nothing.

Jiraiya stood aside and didn't move, hesitating whether he should speak.

In fact.

Judging from the relationship between Jiraiya and Yahiko, he would definitely not sit idly by.

And with his current strength, it is actually very easy to stop Sanshouyu Hanzo.

But Jiraiya must consider Nara's attitude towards Gui.

If he opens his mouth now and chooses to stand on the same side as the Akatsuki organization, he will inevitably feel like he is going against the Hokage...

No matter what.

Jiraiya still very much identifies with his identity as a Konoha ninja.

Yahiko and the other three also looked at Nara Langui.

Finally it was Yahiko who spoke.

"grown ups."

Yahiko smiled heartily.

"We Akatsuki and Yugakure have dealt with each other many times. Maybe Hanzo-sama is here for something else this time?"

"For example, organize peace talks with Akatsuki?"

Nara Langui sneered.

"From now on, you, Akatsuki and Ugakure, will rule the Kingdom of Rain together?

"In that case, it would really be a beautiful thing~"

Nara Langui shook his head and ignored Yahiko. Instead, he walked to Nagato and raised his hand to pat his shoulder.

"I will protect your eyes for you."

After saying these words, Nara Langui stepped aside and gave the control of the scene to Yahiko again.

Yahiko also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was still a little worried that the Fourth Hokage would just run away with Nagato...

Yahiko forced him to turn his attention to the Aegakure troops getting closer and closer over there.

Just when he thought this Ame Hidden Force would come all the way to the Akatsuki organization.

The group of ninjas suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards.

The tall ninja at the head directly raised his arm and pressed it hard on the ground.

"Psychic art!"

With a burst of white smoke rising, a huge Sanshou Fish appeared in front of everyone in the Akatsuki organization.

Immediately following was the thick purple poisonous mist sprayed from the mouth of the Sanshou Fish.

"Poison spray!"
